Greetings steemians and members of the #steemchurch. In today's topic, i want to discuss on the nature of man as regards the three states as well as astrological and biblical beliefs. First i want to appreciate the opportunity to preach the gospel and talk about the word, all thanks to @sirknight. So if you are not too busy... Lets roll🤗

Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.(Gen. 1:26-27)

THE THREE STATES OF MAN

1. MAN AS A SOUL

A soul is the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being or animal, regarded as immortal. It is also the essence or embodiment of a specified quality, in this case, its the embodiment of the entire existence of the man. The soul is also called the psyche which consists of the mind in which the conscience is embedded, it also consists of emotions, will and imaginations.

2. MAN AS A BODY

source

A body is the physical and material structure of a man. Unlike the rest, it is not immortal i.e it expires at the point of death. Most Christians pay too much attention to this part, forgetting that it is all vanity. The body is what causes us to sin against God, as it is commanded in the bible

For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body (1 cor 6:20).

3. MAN AS A SPIRIT

source

The spirit is the element in humanity that gives us the ability to have an intimate relationship with God. Whenever the word
spirit is used, it refers to the immaterial part of humanity that “connects” with God, who Himself is spirit

God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth. (John 4:24).

The human spirit requires “the spark of regeneration” before there is an understanding of the things of God. Man’s spiritual nature must be renewed before there is a true conception of Godliness. Only one thing stands as a guard at the door of man’s spirit, and that is his own will . When the will is surrendered, the Holy Spirit takes up His abode in the spirit of man.

As human beings, we live eternally as a spirit, we have a soul, and we dwell in a body.

THE ASTROLOGICAL MAN

This is also called the ZODIAC MAN. The signs of zodiac tries to describe the behaviour of man through 12 elements.

And there are various attributes and characters each bearer of each sign possesses. That i will discuss in my next post.

Regardless of any other astrological or superstitious beliefs, the true nature of man is in the word of God, and i admonish my readers to stay true to the nature that God wants from us as commanded in Jn 15:5

I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

And in Ephesians 5 : 1

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

THIS IS HOW MAN SHOULD BE.

THANKS FOR READING.
